Over the River Charlie

Charlie's neat, Charlie's sweet
Charlie he's a dandy
Charlie he's the very lad
Who stole my stocking candy

(Chorus)
Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep
And measure up my barley


My pretty little pink
I once did think
I never could do without you
Since I lost all hopes of you
I care very little about you

(Chorus)

Your weevily wheat ain't fit to eat
Neither do I want your barley
I'll take a little of the best you've got
To make a cake for Charlie

(Chorus)

If you love me as I love you
There'll be no need to tarry
We'll have the old folks tearin' round
For you and I to marry

(Chorus)

Charlie here, Charlie there,
Charlie over the ocean
Charlie he'll come back someday
If he don't change his notion

(Chorus)
